I hope that this July Nature Note finds you & your loved ones well.
If you are new to Exploring Nature with Children, and are joining us for the first time this month, please jump right in. You can begin ENWC at any point in the year, and there’s no better time to get started than the present!
If you began back in 2023, and are coming toward the end of your studies, I am truly honoured that ENWC has been a part of your home education, and my hope is that you and your child have enjoyed your studies, and learned about the natural world around you. ENWC is written to be used year upon year for layered learning, so I do hope that you will consider joining us again during the next year!
A quote to carry with you this July:
We can experience so much wonder, awe, & joy when we spend time observing nature. We see beauty in the most ordinary of things. What is nature teaching you & your child this month?
There’s a free ENWC calendar for the year to download here.
As always, please work the weeks to suit your own circumstances best; these are just my own suggestions!

Seasonal notes:
Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers.
Next week is a break week in Exploring Nature With Children.
To keep up your nature study momentum, spend a little time discussing the changes that you have been observing in your own special nature spot. Talk about the topics that your children have enjoyed learning about:
•Draw a diagram of the parts of a flower • What do they remember about the anatomy of a honeybee? • Tell about the honeybee’s lifecycle. • Tell what they know about the Summer Solstice.
As you talk with your child, do keep in mind these wise words from Miss Mason’s book, School Education: We have all been in the case of the little girl who said, “Mother, I think I could understand if you did not explain quite so much.”
